Bab 340: Chapter 340 The Object of Everyone's Envy

"The 62nd Golden Globe nominations are announced, with 'Crash' and 'Million Dollar Baby' leading the pack with five nominations each."

As the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed the nomination list, numerous entertainment media outlets rushed to report on it. Besides the front-runners, 'Finding Neverland' and 'The Aviator 2' both received four nominations, with Flame Film Company, having a total of nine nominations, clearly emerging as the big winner and the flagbearer of independent films.

The list was both expected and surprising, with the main difference from the predicitons of various organizations and film critics being the dark horse 'Crash.' Paul Haggis became an overnight sensation, sought after by the spotlight, not only receiving Best Director and Best Screenplay nominations for 'Crash'; his screenplay for 'Million Dollar Baby' was also mightily successful, effectively "monopolizing" the Golden Globes.
